Chapter Ninety-Six: Stubbornness
As soon as Xia Laohan came in, he asked, "What about Shanzi, why didn't he go home?" I heard that in addition to Liu Gongzi, there is also a person in civilian clothes, who looks as good as Xiaosheng on the stage, who is he? ”
When Ye Feng and the others entered the village, many people saw it. Liu Gongzi came to Soushan last time, and many people know him. Zhao Liang, who is tall and heroic and wears a military uniform, is regarded as Lord Dusi Ye, but he doesn't know who Ye Feng is in casual clothes.
I don't know why Xia's face has not been very good, Xia Li had to cheer up and tell the identities of those people again, "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, that's Lord Du Siye." He will be upset if he hears you say that he is a play. That General Zhao is Master Qian, the third uncle's direct peak. He also said to Zhou Lizheng and others, "Last time Liu Gongzi had dinner at my house, saying that the food I made was delicious, and they passed by here when they went to the provincial capital, so they came to my house to make a sharp ......."
I didn't expect that beautiful young noble son to be Lord Toji. Xia Laohan was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth, for fear that what he had just said would be passed on to Lord Ye and cause trouble to Shanzi.
Xia Li satisfied their curiosity, and told them all about what dishes those people ate, liked to tease bears, and shot arrows for a long time.
After everyone heard this, they all gave a thumbs up to Xia Laohan and Mrs. Xia, and complimented, "Lord Dusi and Master Qian have such a good relationship with your Shanzi, and they have come to your daughter's house as a guest again, and Shanzi will have a great future in the future." ”
Another person said, "When Shanzi becomes a big official, maybe he can ask Aunt Xia for a decree." Ouch, Mrs. Fate, who can only be seen on the stage, maybe there will be one in our village. ”
Xia Laohan and Mrs. Xia were proud when they heard it.
After satisfying their curiosity, the people went away one after another. Xia Zhu got up to help Xia Laohan go, but Mrs. Xia sat still and didn't move.
Seeing that the outsiders were gone, the old lady asked Xia, "How much reward did Lord Ye give you?" ”
Xia Li preemptively said, "I didn't give a reward, but I gave fifty taels of silver to buy ingredients." ”
She said it on purpose. No matter how much money you have, it belongs to you.
The old lady pursed her lips and said, "What rare food did your family buy and spend fifty taels of silver?" ”
Xia Li said with a smile, "Grandma, those potatoes, even if you have money, you can't buy them." I say it's worth as much as it is. ”
Mrs. Xia snorted coldly, "The cowhide blows to the sky." The broken potato, which is not as fragrant as pork, how can it be worth so much silver. ”
Xia Zhu frowned, got up and helped Xia Laohan up and said, "Dad, it's so late, it's time to go back and rest." Then he said to Mrs. Xia, "Mother, let's go." ”
Xia Laohan was just interested in how much reward they got and their family background, and when he knew it, he didn't want to stay. scolded the old lady and said, "I said you old woman, how many times you don't have a long memory. How much reward the girl gets, that's their business. Rest assured, our daughters and granddaughters have filial piety, and when it is time to be filial, they know. ”
Mrs. Xia didn't dare to be as insistent as before, and seeing that the Xia family didn't take the initiative to give, she had to be helped away by Xia Tie. I was still happy and overpowered the dissatisfaction in my heart, if Shanzi could really be a big official, he would be able to be Mrs. Command.
Sending them away, Xia Li went to the East Courtyard. When Dang had been found by Zhu Er, after eating the carabo paste and bibimbap made by Zhu Er's family, and taking a bath, Xia Ju was helping it wipe its hair.
When it saw Xia Li, its head turned to the side, and it became angry and unhappy. He was not allowed to see his former owner, and he was not allowed to go home when it was dark.
Xia Li said a lot of sweet words before coaxing his little heart over and following her and Xia back to the main courtyard.
After sending Xia Ju and Dangdang and Xiong to sleep, Xia Li went to Xia's room, and she could already see that Xia's heart was in trouble.
The room was lit with a small dim oil lamp, and Xia was still sitting on the bed in a daze, his delicate face full of sadness. She was as old as she was before she crossed over, but she looked much older.
Xia Li was very distressed, sat on the bed and put his arm around her and asked, "Why is my mother unhappy?" ”
Xia Shi looked at Xia Li, and his eyes turned red again. She raised her hand and touched Xia Li's face, and said with tears in her eyes, "My Lili is already a big girl, and she looks so handsome." ”
Xia Li said coquettishly, "Then I have to thank my mother." My mother is handsome, so she will give birth to such a handsome me. ”
Xia's eyes were full of tears, suppressed his sadness, and said with a forced smile, "It's not necessarily a good thing to look too good, they all say that they are red-faced...... Leave, my mother only hopes that you can have a smooth life and grow old safely. Be obedient, find a good offspring to marry and be a wife, life is harder, but happy. Don't provoke those noble sons, our status is low, they won't marry you as a wife. If you are a concubine, you will be aggrieved for the rest of your life, and you will be humiliated...... Your talented father, he knows everything, and he won't be able to stand it. ”
So that's what happened.
Xia Li hugged Xia's arm tighter, and said with a smile, "Look at what my mother said, how could I go to be a concubine for others." Don't talk about your son, even the emperor, I don't want to. ”
Xia Shi was a little happy, "Really? ”
Xia Li assured, "Of course. Don't worry, I will never be a little wife. He said against his will, "The reason why I am better to Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi is that I have no other ideas, I just want to pave the way for my third uncle." When the third uncle's official position is bigger, our orphans and widows will have a better life. Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi's eyes are clear, and they will not have those dirty thoughts. Besides, I may be good-looking in the countryside, but compared with the nobles in the capital, it will be far worse, so my mother doesn't have to worry too much. ”
Xia Shi stroked Xia Li's face and said, "My Lili, even those noble girls, can't compare." ”
Xia Li smiled, "Mother looks at her daughter, no matter how she looks at her, she is the best-looking, others don't think so." ”
Xia Shi said again, "Liu Gongzi is still young, maybe he didn't think about it so much. Lord Keye...... He, he doesn't have to. You still avoid him in the future, sometimes the feelings come, and you can't control it. Especially those in the powerful, it's not that if you don't want to, you can't just be unwilling. Lord Ye can still survive against the decree, but if he becomes an official in another place, he must be a relative of the emperor, and we can't afford to provoke those people......"
Xia Li pouted, "Mother, Lord Ye is such a big official, and his family background is so prominent, how can he be interested in a little peasant girl like me." ”
Seeing that Ye Feng's eyes are clear, there is no lust in it, and she should just appreciate her, and there are still some doubts. After all, some of the food she made, as well as the archery posture, made him feel familiar.
Xia was particularly stubborn this time, and said, "Lili, listen to my mother." ”
Xia Li had no choice but to say, "Okay, listen to my mother." ”
